On the premise we do not charge an additional fee for the cutting of a key, the price for a blank key will be the same price as an uncut key.

Do you know if I can take a Smart Card from someone and a dealership can reprogram it for my IS? I have a buddy with an LS who doesnt use his Smart Card and has given it to me.

...be careful on this one. There has been mention of the SMART cards only having the ability to be programmed just once. In other words, once you register the SMART card to a vehicle, the SMART card is now "married" to the vehichle and cannot stray to another.

I have not confirmed this information so just take note.

I would throw mine in my purse, but its a jungle in there, and there's no guarantee that I would ever find it again.

^^^ As long as you carry the same bag to you car all the time then you would still have access to the car so it shouldn't matter if its lost in your bag.

Your Fiance is lucky and special to get to drive your car at any given time. No gurl/gurls will ever drive my car. They can only be my passengers.

She has her own key to the f430 spyder as well as the aston. When I had my m6 and 760li she had the keys to those as well. She's pretty much welcome to drive them whenever she wants however barely ever used them

Ordered. Hopefully it comes before my first 5k maintenance so i could get it programmed at the same time.

I got my CC key in about 2 weeks ago and didnt have time to get it done till today. Lexus of Charlotte N.C called me today and said it couldn't be done, but was willing to try a "different" way where I have too bring them both the master key and try to reprogram "everything." I would also have to pay "2 hours" of labor which cost about $200 and some change. I told them where i purchased it, and that other peeps have done it no problem. Any idea whats going on?!

Thanks!
